In Kerry and Hagel, Obama likely sees two statesmen who largely share his views and will be eager to follow up on his first-term foreign-policy theme: the “restoration of the United States’ prestige and power in the world”

I really, really wish that I could believe that. Really, I do. But I don’t. And I don’t know how anyone does.

Not surprised in the slightest. I was waiting for this to happen ever since they started portraying him as a god-king in 2008.

And let me guess how much the GOP is resisting this…not at all?

and, and that nasty Freedom Agenda from Reagan to Bush2.

these guys are still mad about the Soviets. The left with vilify Bush2 for generations. Well, W, maybe you should have defended yourself and the party..the long march of leftist historians will be unkind to you

after his fierce opposition to the Iraq invasion

Why does Hirsh continue to make this claim?

Hagel voted for the invasion; he didn’t oppose it.

In none of the pieces by Hirsh has he mentioned this fact.

How long before the “why only two terms” is going to be raised?

Based on interviews with Obama administration officials and policy experts, the president is said to be focused on several major agenda items right now: stepping up nuclear nonproliferation; forcing nuclear surrender by Iran; making China a fair trader; transforming America’s energy profile; and laying down long-term rules of the road for covert war. And despite the eagerness to leave the Mideast behind somewhat, the administration is likely to get dragged back in, which could mean a harder line with Israel, one that might also be in accord with past views expressed by Hagel especially.

Giving up our own nukes while trusting Iran to do likewise? Great idea. Expecting China to stop manipulating their currency while depending on them to keep buying our debt? Sure, no problem. Transforming America’s energy profile? We’re off to a great start with all the bankrupt solar energy companies and the EPA’s war on oil and coal. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel great about 4 more years of this regime.
